Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a level surface free of debris. Refer to the detailed User Manual (PDF) provided with your product for complete step-by-step instructions and safety warnings.

5. Operating Your Pool

5.1 SkimmerPlus Filter Pump Operation

The included SFX1000 SkimmerPlus Filter Pump is a 2-in-1 unit that combines skimming and filtration functions. It attaches to the pool sidewall for easy maintenance and efficient space utilization. Ensure the pump is connected to a GFCI-protected outlet.

• The skimmer basket picks up debris, leaves, and insects from the water surface.
• The filter cartridge captures small particles, ensuring clean water circulation.
• Operate the pump daily for optimal water clarity. Consult the pump's specific manual for recommended run times based on pool usage and water conditions.

5.2 Pool Cover Usage

Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use. This helps to keep out debris, leaves, and insects, and reduces water evaporation, minimizing the need for frequent refilling and chemical adjustments.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your pool water clean and extending the life of your Funsicle pool.

6.1 Filter Cartridge Replacement

The SkimmerPlus Filter Pump uses a Type C filter cartridge. Check and clean the filter cartridge regularly (e.g., every few days, depending on usage). Replace the cartridge every 2-4 weeks or when it becomes visibly dirty and cannot be cleaned effectively.

6.2 Deluxe Maintenance Kit

Your pool comes with a deluxe maintenance kit to assist with cleaning. This kit typically includes a vacuum attachment for the bottom, a hand-held skimmer net for surface debris, and a brush for scrubbing the liner.

6.3 Water Chemistry

Maintain proper water chemistry by regularly testing pH and chlorine levels. Follow guidelines for safe chemical usage to prevent algae growth and ensure water sanitation.

6.4 Draining and Storage

For convenient draining, the pool features a 2-in-1 drainage plug. Simply unlock and open the plug; no tools are required. Ensure the pool is completely dry before folding and storing it in a cool, dry place for the off-season.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Funsicle pool, consider the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Water Leaks: Inspect the liner for any punctures or tears. Use the included repair patch for minor damages. For leaks around connections, ensure all hoses and clamps are tightened securely.
• Cloudy Water: Check and clean or replace the filter cartridge. Ensure the filter pump is running for sufficient periods daily. Test and adjust water chemistry (chlorine, pH) as needed.
• Pump Not Working: Verify the pump is plugged into a working GFCI outlet. Check for any blockages in the intake or return lines. Ensure the filter cartridge is not excessively clogged.
• Unstable Frame: Re-check all SmartConnect pole connections to ensure they are fully clicked into place. Confirm the pool is on a completely level surface.
